Back when the coronavirus was considered a global emergency and lockdown was in order, I found myself having to change my library items from physical pick-ups to digital on Kindle. One of them was Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan.
It’s a contemporary about a woman, as the title suggests, opening a new bakery in a town she’s moved into. Along the way, she finds herself taking care of an injured bird and getting close to a beekeeper. I found it being the light read I definitely needed at the time.
If you had one, what was it? I noticed that House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune was often cited as one on BookTube.
I was trying to deal with the pandemic, then my Dad passed away at the end of 2020, and to cope I read a lot for awhile. I just happen to be in a bad reading slump now lol.
The Agency series by Y.S. Lee was very comforting for me. It is set in 1850s London, and follows a young woman who works for a spy agency… there are 4 books in the series, and I really enjoyed reading them.
I also really enjoyed Circe/The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse, and Ruth Ware during that time period as well.
